That would explain why they look so alikeShe goes back in time and causes Christine Chapel to never be born, then assumes her identity in the present. As a result, there's never a romance between Spock and Chapel.

Or they give her a second stringer Pioneer class ship fill it with a bunch of other augment adjacent crews they don't like and send them off to do unimportant planetary survey's in deep deeeeep space where they never have to hear about equal treatment complaints ever again.
This plan will then back fire so badly that Una's ship will be immortalized in the starfleet museum as we see with the USS Pioneer in Picard.
Since her only appearance in TOS was in The Cage / The Menagerie, her fate is what the show-runners make it. She may fade into obscurity, she may get her own command, she may be killed or lost on an assignment. Keep tuning in.
I honestly think she dies. She 'sooo Starfleet' I can't imagine her resigning or retiring early. That would explain why we never see her/hear any real mention of her in later 23c TV/Feature Film situations. (And it must have been a HORRIBLE death fpor no one to talk about it.Here's my theory: Since Lieutenant Commander Una Chin-Riley is an Illyrian she will never be promoted to captain. I think at the end of the series she will leave Starfleet and return to her people, maybe engaging in space exploration with them.
Thoughts?

Which in retrospect was kind of a strange choice, since Pike was also crippled in an accident. I wonder if Mike W. Barr was trying for a conscious parallel or if it just didn't occur to him.In the DC comics back in the 80s they had a heavy piece of cargo fall on Una's back and crippled her.

In 2264, Pike was promoted fleet captain with Number One agreed to remain behind and continue as first officer under James T. Kirk. Days before the change-of-command ceremony, however, Number One had an accident in the ship's cargo hold, where a cargo container fell onto her and crushed both her legs. Though she received prompt medical treatment from Dr. Phillip Boyce, but her long recovery meant that she couldn't serve as Kirk's first officer, the post being given to Spock. (TOS comic: "All Those Years Ago...")

At one point, I thought they were grooming her to be captain of the Discovery in season 3. After all why else would they have cast Rebecca Romijn?
Awhy else would they have cast Rebecca Romijn?
She heard they were looking and auditioned.^ She's a big enough name. I figured they had other plans.
IIRC, she's a fan and jumped at the chance to be on Star Trek.
She invents an explosive?She does something so incredible, so Nobel that they make the ship’s computer sound like her for the next century and a bit.
(For what's worth, btw, I had her eventually becoming the captain of the Yorktown in my book.)
